[TRUENGLISHMAN]

[beefdog88]

@TRUENGLISHMAN Nope it dont need any extra power

[L00peey]

@beefdog88 i have win 7 ult 32b, i cant find any update drivers compatible for this card. i can only have the ones from the cd. but everything works perfectly. would i need to update, and does it make a diff on sound quality?

[Roetker7]

It works with Windows 7, right?

[dunyful]

this card is one of the best...and z-5500´s are working great with SPDIF connection...:)...gret vid by the way :D

[igonnagetfsx]

Hey, I'm really not sure if I should get this.. I have the z5500 and running them on my motherboard's audio ( a cheap motherboard ) And I have done that for over a year now.

Does the sound quality improve alot? or just a little, just so the experts can hear the difference?

And does it need any extra power?

Please anwser me :) Thanks!

[beefdog88]

yeah its alot better than onboard audio. This is probably one of the best multimedia sound cards out for its price

[beefdog88]

yeah its alot better than onboard audio. This is probably one of the best multimedia sound cards out for its price and no it dont need any extra power cables

[igonnagetfsx]

thanks alot for anwsering :)

@beefdog88 Hey beefdog have you had any issues with your Xonar D2 like popping sounds ? i have just got the D2 also and seem to get popping sounds when windows 7 starts ..POP !! windows media player ..POP!! not sure why its doin that for !!

I googled it up and it seems im not the only person whos having this issue with the D2 ,people complain that Asus dont care for there customers and there driver support suxs for the D2.

I download the lastest driver and still it pops !!

Any ideas ?

[beefdog88]

@stormshadow2100 Ive had absolutly no problemwith this sound card

[cyberJOKRES]

please answer this, it is pci express x8 or x16?

[beefdog88]

its just pci not pci express

[siralexu]

jeez dude it sounds like you have vacuum in that pc

[Immortal5720]

The motherboard that you have has 7.1 channel audio, why do you need a sound card?

[beefdog88]

Almost any onboard sound card stinks for the z5500's. Its fine for cheap speakers but not expensive ones

[helldrell666]

Man...Can you make a CineBench 10 test, for me to see how the phenom 2 955 compares to the Core I7 ?

Thanx.

[doomtomb3]

Nice, I got the little brother to this, the DX

[staticxmako]

YOU ASSHOLE

i just ordered the creative x-fi fatiality

i was gona get that same card BUT GEUSS WHAT FOR $150 I GOT A FREE $50 HEADSET WITH THE CARD!!!! COULDNT TURN DOWN THE DEAL

your making me jelouse tho lol

[beefdog88]

lol thanks

[chambs1]

Yeah, I got the same exact deal off Newegg.

[staticxmako]

yea I DIDNT FUCKNG SELECT THE DAMN COMBO SO THEY DIDNT TAKE IT SO GAY, BUT I HAD TO JUST GO TO CREATIVE DIRECTLY AND BUY IT THERE LOL damnit at creative the combo you just bught it you didnt have to select any bullshit

[chambs1]

I almost did that, too. lol. I got it today. Sounds awesome, and the headphones don't sound too bad, either. Of course, I am far from an audiophile. I did look at the ASUS XonarD2, but I had to take the free 'phones.

[PwnageHawk]

Marketing scam.

[staticxmako]

i got the headset..... the card is great.... soooo its a scam

a marketing scam would be like when newegg makes you select the combo deal, and then you dont select it becuase you thought it would be with the item without fucking selecting somthing. and then you call newegg and they say o sorry i cant onhor that deal any longer

thats a scam

[PwnageHawk]

Well, CREATIVE is just trying to boost their image because of the bad cards, support, problems, but even with a free headset most are going to stay away from creative still. If the card works for you and your happy, congrats. Normal headphones & Clip on zalman mic w/ a good sound card that allows dolby HP is better than any creative card, or headset, so far.

Anyway, enough of the debate XD

[staticxmako]

budd you need to stop being so biased on what others say in furums. you need to create your own opinion. i bet you also use nvidia am i right? and i have z-5500's buddy so i need a good quality card i spent $450 on my audio and its money well spent. THX DD highest rating and quality

buy it use it. make a opinion, and keep it to yourself dont put it up on furums

[PwnageHawk]

Radeon, actually.

[G9xXx]

eax 2.0 ...

[beefdog88]

dont matter cause there isnt alot of games that support it anyways

[G9xXx]

will in future? idk

[PlagueRiddenGoat]

How does this fair with the Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatality? (which I currently own)

[beefdog88]

Im not sure but its tearing my razer barracuda ac1 up

[substancegamer]

slick sound card...bought the DX version recently and its been awesome

you should've gone with PCI-E for such a high end sound card but whatever suits :)

[beefdog88]

Its a very nice card... im loving it :)

[AsimisterMT]

very nice , im dont see she have a fan cooler ?

[beefdog88]

I dont think it has a fan but a heatsink
